Library
Special Collection
We
are currently creating a Special Collection of altered
books & experimental artists' books at The
University of Northampton - Avenue Campus Library.
The Library will also hold on loan our 'we love your books'
archive of artists' books.
We are really excited about this new venture and look
forward to building our collections up over the next few
years. The books will be kept in a special access room
where library vistors can hold and interact with them.
It is hoped that as the Collection grows it will be
exhibited at other venues. Thanks to all the artists
whose books appear in our archive - we love your
books!
The
following books are currently in our
Library Special Collection
